Jordan made the most of the "Jordan Dome," as the facility came to be known. Even though he was filming six days a week from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., the athlete managed to fit in about five hours of practice.

What we learned about Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls from 'The Last Dance''The Last Dance' was a much-needed presence in our time without live sports, and it taught us a lot about Michael Jordan and the Bulls, too.
